Hi all, Hope everybody is well and having a great week. As discussed, we would like to start summarizing some of the feedback we got during the implementation testing. If you have some insights, please add your ideas/testing results/thoughts to these slides<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18n83tttDvWDLI5UM30LIsfqrbpH5nbyrwIK…> so we can easily discuss them tomorrow and over the following weeks. Matt Rogan will join us to discuss the results of a mapping exercise he did between HE and Wildlife Insights data. Wesley Hochachka has also kindly agreed to share his insights regarding the mapping of Ebird data to HE. November 9 is our open Task Group session so we will need to be ready to answer questions! See you tomorrow! Cheers! Yani Yanina V.

Absence data use case with OBIS
by Yi Ming Gan 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hi all, The OBIS community would like to create an absence use case for consideration of its application for the new GBIF data model. Humboldt working group comes to my mind when it is about absence, I wonder if anyone would like to join us in working on the use cases with absence data? Discourse: https://discourse.gbif.org/t/absences-and-how-they-fit-in-the-new-model/3593 Thank you so much!! Cheers Ming

Humboldt Task Group Meeting MOVED to Thu 15 September 2022, 7:00pm EST
by Sica, Yanina 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hi all, Hope everybody is great! We finally have a time to meet and discuss how the Humboldt Extension fits in the expanded GBIF data model! Thursday 15 September 7pm EST Zoom: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101 John and Tim are interested in identifying a case study that takes advantage of the HE to report inventories, particularly that deal with absences. One ecological use case has already been developed (Ecological Survey Data Exchange Format<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>) but it is extremely simple and doesn't require anything from HE. Peter Brenton has already identified at least one potential dataset, but everybody is encouraged to bring ideas and datasets to the conversation! Peter, feel free to share those datasets. I apologize if this is a crazy time for you, it was hard to find a time that worked. I really appreciate your flexibility. We will record the session in case somebody cannot make it. We will not have our typical meeting on Wed so we can dedicate the time to meet on Thu. Thank you and hope you can make it to the discussion!! Cheers, Yani Yanina V.

Hi all, Hope everybody is well! It has been quite a few weeks since we last met as a group, so I propose a catch-up meeting tomorrow. No detailed agenda but TDWG 2022 is approaching, and we still have not heard for many external testers so we might need to work on a different strategy. Also, we are still organizing a good time to meet and discuss the GBIF data model and a Humboldt Extension case study, I will share more info soon. See you!

Progress on Humboldt Extension TG.
by Sica, Yanina 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

Hi all, Hope everybody is doing well! I wanted to recap some of the advances we have made so far, and what the next few weeks will look like. What has happened? We have had varied results reaching out to people to test the extension, see communications and time frame here<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ai9WPFzg2m-SjVHSWDPMde3Jx_hvUxz2rCi…>. We have extended the testing period until September so more users can provide feedback. The timeframe for testing is related to TDWG 2022 where we will present the advances of the Humboldt Extension (abstract here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-1Z5sgZXjXkIJOghWY4U7nn2Qn4DzOTHD5SuxTv…>). However, testing and feedback can go beyond that timeline if needed, the key here is to make this extension broadly useful by incorporating as much user experience feedback as possible! Even though the User Guide<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> is a "work in progress", it is in a good shape to share. The idea is that this document evolves into a proper Humboldt Extension Documentation based on the feedback. It has a good explanation of what we are trying to archive with the Extension as well as some useful tips on how to structure the data (using eventID)s and how to use the GBIF IPT to test the extension. It also includes the link to a Google Form to provide feedback. Please share! What is next? It is a good time to start discussing how the Humboldt Extension fits in the expanded GBIF data model. John and Tim had agreed on having a dedicated discussion on this. We are planning an afternoon meet for that on Monday 29 or Tuesday 30 at 4:30 pm EST. John and Tim are interested in identifying a case study that takes advantage of the HE to report inventories, particularly that deal with absences. One ecological use case has already been developed (Ecological Survey Data Exchange Format<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10YgbavCieUIpN_kNoHGHEkvILpFWCx8k-ZNXFVD…>) but it is extremely simple and doesn't require anything from HE. Peter Brenton has already identified a potential dataset, but everybody is encouraged to bring ideas and datasets to the conversation. On a related topic, the ALA presented a webinar for the extended data model project that they have been undertaking in collaboration with GBIF. It is well worth watching this session before our discussion. They have also worked on a guide <https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2022/08/ALA-Extended-Data-Model-Producer…> that could be a useful reference for us. Peter, can you share the recording? It seems I did not get it after all. Lastly, I wanted to let you know that I will be on holiday for the next 2 weeks. The Wednesday 8 am EST meeting time is open for you to meet and continue discussions, but I will not be able to join. See you in 2 weeks! All the best! Yani Yanina V.
